Home to 63 beaches and bays, Rottnest Island is a short ferry ride or plane ride from Perth. There are no cars on the island so pedal power is king. Enjoy lunch at one of the cafes and restaurants, most offering spectacular ocean views, swim, snorkel or dive, or take an eco-cruise and discover the local wildlife. In the late afternoon make a beeline for The Rottnest Hotel, overlooking Thompson Bay it’s the perfect spot to unwind as the sunsets.
